@benpate So what they are building is actually a way to later enforce censorship of a decentralized network by state actors.

@phnt @benpate These censorship/moderation tools are likely a part of their mainstreaming strategy. They want big orgs, including governments, to host Mastodon instances. The same playbook is used by Matrix.

So I don't think it's a threat, just another brick in the wall separating Mastoverse and the rest of the network.

@silverpill @benpate I don't see this as a network threat, really. They could split the network tomorrow and I would barely notice or care.

The way I see this is similar to what the recent age verification legislations have the possibility to do to this network and hosting in general. More of a control and potential for future abuse threat. Because it will be used that way, eventually.
